Best Cheap Home Art Orange County 2011 - The Poster List

Finding affordable, non-cheesy home art is easy for experienced flea-market pickers, but a headache for décor novices who simply want to spruce up a drab apartment's walls. Luckily, there's the Poster List, a Long Beach-based supplier of simple yet super-cool posters and post cards that earn the approval of trendsters and hipsters alike. Designs range from city-specific (vintage-looking renderings of NYC's West End Towers, San Francisco's Marina District and the Santa Monica Pier) to quirky (colorful images of bicycles, Eames chairs and roosters) to motivational ("Keep Calm and Carry On," "Do Your Best" and "Never Never Give Up," all in typographical perfection). Owner/designer Adam Luedicke sells the art online and at local fairs and festivals, so keep checking his event schedule. At $10.99 for a 12-by-18 print, you'll only wish you had more drab wallspace.
